This page hosts requests to stewards and global renamers for a username change across the entire Wikimedia network. Please read the instructions before posting a request.
This is also the page where the usurpation of inactive accounts can be requested.

Meta-Wiki requests |
Instructions
SUL finalization
If you are requesting a merge of a global account with one or more unconnected local accounts as part of finalizing your single unified login (SUL) username, please specify which wikis and accounts you want to merge into your global account. These accounts were typically named "account name~wikiname". Please note that we can only merge a local account into a global account when the global account has no edits on the same wiki as the local account.
How to add an entry here
To add an entry, please copy and paste the text below into the appropriate section.
=== Oldname ===
{{SRUC
|status = <!--don't change this line-->
|domain = global
|Oldname =
|Newname =
|reason = (your remarks here)
--~~~~
}}
Example |
---|
For global rename requests: === Example === {{SRUC |status = <!--don't change this line--> |domain = global |Oldname = Example |Newname = Foo |reason = your remarks here --~~~~ }} |
Making a request for your own account
For changing your username on one wiki:
Please include the following information in your request:
- the old username,
- the new username,
- please sign
~~~~
request with your account for a simple move (first section), or sign this request with both the originating and the target accounts if you are requesting a merge (second section).
If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information. This helps ensure that you are requesting a rename for your own account. Please check before posting your request that the username you want is available. You can test that by going to the (new) user page and looking into the sidebar. If there is a link to user contributions, the account already exists, or check via Special:CentralAuth.
Private requests
Account renames are not private, once renamed many links from the old username to the new username will be permanently made. The reason submitted on the rename form (Special:GlobalRenameRequest) is private, and only visible by the renamers. Additional information that needs to be made in private may be sent using this direct wiki-email interface while logged-in.
Simple rename requests
If your rename request is simple and does not involve usurpation of an existing account or other SUL issues, you have two options:
- Use the request form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest; or
- Submit the request below in this section.
Please use this tool to check if the username is taken before filing a request.
Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications
Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username and requests should be signed by the requesting user.
Please note: Per standard procedure, accounts with valid edits are not usurped, and the target account must be notified by renamer at least one month before usurpation.
We are sorry to announce that Global User Account Merges are not possible as the UserMerge extension is incompatible with CentralAuth. As such, we will not accept any request to merge user accounts as it is technically impossible at this moment to do so. |
WildMouse76
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: WildMouse76 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Zzzs (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My current name was only a temporary change from a misleading name, since I am no longer using this account to read. The proposed name (plural for ignis; Latin for fire) is the best name I could choose since the target has zero edits and is only registered on one project.
→ changed parameter Newname from Ignes to Zzzs, see below. --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 15:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- On hold until
11 June 2024--TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 09:38, 11 May 2024 (UTC)- @TenWhile6 Sorry to disturb you, but I'm proposing to change the target name to Zzzs. The initial name can be easily impersonated due to the letters, something that I didn't take into account while choosing. The new name might look easy to impersonate, but the number of similar named accounts makes impersonation more difficult. Also, the target account has zero edits. WildMouse76 (talk) 03:01, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- WildMouse76, you know that the usurpation process has already started once I informed the user? Okay, technically I can now change the target name and the process starts again, but the Global rename policy states:
The new name is carefully selected.
Trying to change the target name two days after the initial request does not look like a careful selected name. - Please confirm, that you really like to be renamed to Special:CentralAuth/Zzzs via usurpation and you like to keep that name for a while. You have to be sure about that. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 06:22, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- @TenWhile6 I am absolutely sure. I promise I will keep that name and will NOT change it again for a while. WildMouse76 (talk) 14:33, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Okay. On hold until 13 June 2024. --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 15:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Virkin29
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Virkin29 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Virkin (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to update my username for simplification purposes. I no longer need these numbers. The user Virkin was created in 2010 on the Spanish wiki but this account has been inactive since its creation. He never made any modifications or anything. Thanks for your help Virkin29 (talk) 09:34, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- On hold until 17 June 2024 --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 09:47, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: My renaming request was rejected because I had provided multiple options. I was fine with either of the two options I suggested, depending on availability. I replied to the email but have not received a response. And since my previous choice couldn't be usurped, I decided to go for "Siz". The account has a total of 1 edit.
- On hold until 26 June 2024, also notified via email. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:19, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

- Old Username: Clearfrienda (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: CFA (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I'd like to shorten my username from Clearfrienda to CFA to match my signature. CFA has been inactive since 2007.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I just saw "Deniz", was available. And since my name is also Deniz, I'd like to be renamed to Deniz. The user has 8 edits in German Wikipedia. It has been 9 years since the last edit.
- On hold until 28 June 2024, also notified via email. – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I would like to use the name "GhostHell" from now on because I identify more with the new name and already use it on other platforms and online projects. However, there is a user who has been inactive for 14 years and has 0 edits using it at the moment.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Hi. I was born in Baku and lived in this city for 25 years. The meaning of the word Bakuvian was used in ancient Arabic to mean someone born or living in Baku. This word is an old word and is not actively used in any language now. This is my last username change request. I promise you that I will not apply like this again. Please change my username. Best regards.--Kholat Syakhl (talk) 03:31, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
DreamRimmer, AramilFeraxa can you help me about this issue ? --Kholat Syakhl (talk) 09:27, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- I noticed you changed your username just a few days ago, and we generally don't approve rename requests within six months of the previous rename. Given that you are a user in good standing, I am willing to grant your request. I also noticed that you have a large block log on azwiki, but all of the blocks were temporary and have since expired, so I don't see any issues there. I'm leaving this request open for a few hours to allow other renamers to weigh in. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:35, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- If you seriously assure that this is your last username change, then I also don't see any issues. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 13:42, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- I swear this is last request Kholat Syakhl (talk) 00:13, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- On hold until 10 July 2024. Please note that you are free to request a username change in the future, but please wait at least one year before doing so. – DreamRimmer (talk) 06:29, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer, So you're not going to change my username right now ? Kholat Syakhl (talk) 11:13, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Kholat Syakhl, I wasn't referring to this particular request. You mentioned that you swear this is your last request, so I replied that there's no restriction on you. You can make another request in the future if you want to change your username again, but that request should be made after a reasonable amount of time (one year). FYI, this request is on hold and will be processed after 10 July 2024 if there are no objections from the target user. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:20, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
